Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated.
Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, reducing slightly.
Stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast, combining everything evenly.
Let the sauce simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the vegan mushrooms in cream sauce over pasta, rice, or enjoy as a standalone dish.
